The graphics and environment are amazing, with incredible detail.
I absolutely loathe bloated inventory management and complex character-building, and this has that in spades, but I’ve ignored it almost completely, meaning they could have easily just left it out altogether and been fine. There are lots of different types of weapons but rarely were any of them “better” than the other.
The content is seemingly endless. Like I’ve got 50 hours and still dozens of side quests left.
It’s very story-heavy. I don’t care for that particularly. Just want to shoot things and blow them up 90% of the time but this is like 50% story and cutscenes. Story is decent.
Before the last missions and after you beat the game, your “default” mission is always the same last main quest, which is super annoying. Was hoping after I beat it, it would at least disappear from my “journal” but it just drops me back into my last checkpoint and lives at the top permanently.
Glitches are fairly common but not a huge problem. My bike once spawned in the middle of some traffic fences. I got permanently stuck behind a building sign one time. My car would occasionally just get yeeted a thousand feet into the air for no reason. Somewhat frequent frame drops and 2 complete crashes.
I am by no means a “skilled” gamer and the normal difficulty was far too easy. Only character that ever challenged me was literally the last guy in the main story quest. And I only died once.
Conclusion: def not GOTY contender for me but well worth $30 I paid.
Playing it currently. Got about 50 hours in it.
